I'd love to see this happen. There are so many sweet special-purpose
distros out there; it would be pretty cool to see them all in action.
I'd really appreciate it if somebody wanted to demo micro-Linux
distributions (i.e., stuff I can run off a flash drive).
Truth be told, I've rather been wanting to build my own
micro-distribution for a while now--I'd love to be able to rapidly
boot into a USB stick environment with an editor, Mutt, and LaTeX.
Does anybody know of a good howto? Even better, would anybody like to
give a presentation on building a micro-distribution?
